APEX
– Stanley Boyd was recognized today by Secretary Theodis
Beck and the North Carolina Department of Correction as one of ten
Correctional Officers of the Year.

Boyd is a correctional officer assigned to Umstead Correctional
Center in Butner and supervises 10 inmates on a Community Work Crew
performing work assignments for county and municipal governments and
school systems.

"Officer Boyd has developed quality relationships with the local
governments and agencies the Community Work Program serves," said
Umstead Superintendent John Bryant. "He has been an instrumental
person in the development of this program."

Boyd’s inmate crew was involved in the cleanup efforts after
Hurricanes Bertha, Fran and Floyd and the winter storm in January 2000.
The work projects completed by his crew have saved countless dollars for
public school systems in Vance and Granville counties.

Boyd lives in Henderson and is a 1966 graduate of Henderson
Institute. He serves as chairman of trustees and teaches Sunday School
at Spring Street Baptist Church in Henderson.
